12 days to go!!!

I'm getting antsy now! 12 days to go until I leave this frozen tundra and head for the sunny (hopefully) and warm Eastern Caribbean!! I am already making lists, buying a few things I need to take with me.
I'm going to pack very very lightly this time!! Last year, when I flew home, I had to pay overweight charges and this year, I'm not doing that! So, just the bare necessities so I can have room for souvenirs for me and family.
I always get a shot glass wherever I go and I get my dh a coffee cup wherever I go. So, those are definites. But, I also get a few things for others in my family. 1 son wants a beaded necklace from one of the islands, my youngest son just wants anything. DD hasn't mentioned what she would like, but I'm sure she will.
My only fear is that most of my summer clothes won't fit me any more!! I have lost quite a few pounds and a couple of inches since summer!! I am going to pull out all summer stuff and start trying them on and seeing what will fit and what won't. I really hope my swim suits still fit, because I don't think any stores have those out yet!!

It's been a couple of lousy days here. Rainy, cloudy, dreary, blah and all the other "wintry" words you can think of. Cold and damp don't mix well with my body. Been hurting quite a bit lately.

Dh got his "pre-exhaustion" letter from unemployment office today. Along with it came the form to apply for the emergency unemployment extension. He filled it out and I'm taking it to the office tomorrow after I go to the gym. I figured if I took it there, he wouldn't worry about it so much. Our mail isn't the most reliable. This way, it also saves a little bit of my sanity (what I have left anyway) because he would drive me nuts going around the house muttering about--did it make it? how do I know it made it? how will I know if I get extension?--that kind of stuff.
